Indicate whether each of the following occurs or is characte

Indicate whether each of the following occurs or is characteristic of generalized transduction (GT), specialized transduction (ST), both (B), or neither (N). Phage carries DNA of bacterial or viral origin. Phage carries viral DNA linked to bacterial DNA. Phage integrates into a specific site on the host chromosome. Phage integrates at a random site on the host chromosome. Viral capsid is packaged with bacterial DNA. Host is lysogenized. Prophage state exists. Temperate phage is involved. Virulent phage is involved.

Solution

Answer:

GT

ST

BOTH

N

Virulent phage is involved

Phage integrates at a random site on the host chromosome.

Temperate phage is involved

Prophage stage exists

Host is lysogenized.

Phage integrates into specific site on the host chromosome.

Viral capsid is packaged with bacterial DNA

Phage carries viral DNA linked to bacterial DNA.

Phage carries DNA of bacterial or viral origin.
